Legal Culture and Youth

On October 6, the Department of Pre-University Preparation at the Faculty of Pre-University Education held a curatorial session titled “Legal Culture and Youth” for newly arrived ethnic Kazakh repatriate students as part of SDG 16, “Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.”

The main purpose of the event was to introduce students to the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, enhance their legal literacy, help them understand their rights and responsibilities, and support their adaptation to a new environment.

The session highlighted the importance of complying with legal requirements, respecting public order, and demonstrating civic responsibility. Particular attention was given to the idea that legal culture begins with mutual respect in everyday interactions, respect for the rights of others, and individual responsibility for one’s actions.

For young ethnic Kazakhs who have come to their ancestral homeland to pursue their education, knowledge of the country’s laws provides an important foundation for protecting their rights, fulfilling their responsibilities conscientiously, and finding their footing in a new social environment.

The meeting reflects the values of SDG 16, which promotes the rule of law, justice, and respect for human rights. Such educational events broaden students’ legal knowledge, encourage their active participation in university life, and contribute to their development as informed and responsible individuals.

Knowing the law is the foundation for protecting your rights, while respecting the law is a clear expression of civic culture!
